The No. 23 Washington Women’s Basketball team had an incredible start to the season, going undefeated in their first 10 games. Unfortunately, their streak came to an end on Sunday when they lost to No. 19 Louisville. The final score was 81-67, with Louisville dominating the game from start to finish.
Washington had been playing some of their best basketball of the season, with their defense leading the way. They had held their opponents to an average of only 54 points per game over their first 10 games, but Louisville was able to break through that defense and score 81 points. Washington’s offense was also unable to keep up with Louisville’s, as they only managed to score 67 points.
Washington’s leading scorer, Amber Melgoza, had a tough game, scoring only 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting. She was the only Washington player to reach double figures in scoring, as the rest of the team struggled to find their offensive rhythm.
The loss was a tough one for Washington, but they will look to bounce back in their next game against Oregon State. They will need to find a way to get their offense going if they want to get back on track.
Washington’s loss to Louisville is a reminder that no team is invincible, and that any team can be beaten on any given day. It also serves as a reminder that Washington still has a lot of work to do if they want to reach their full potential this season.
